Crews of Warships Fight at New
Chwang, China One Wounded.
Czar Has Complained.
A serious clash occurred between
American sailors and Russian sol
diers nt the Manchnrlan port of New
Chwnng, where the Russians have
settled themselves an If they were
going to hold the port permanently
Nothing la known at Washington ex
cept that ono Russian was wounded
and that there wero three collisions.
It lt taken for granted thnt the Amer
icans trounced the Russlnns, because
It was tho Russian Minister at Peking
who mndo complaints about the mat
ter. He laid tho facts before Minis
ter Conger, wlm sent the complaint to
Washington. Secretary Hay notified
Secretary Long, and the latter called
upon Commander Harry of tho gun
boat. Vlcksburg for an explanation. It
Is assumed that the snllors concerned
are men from tho Vlckilmrg. which
Is lu winter nunrters nt New Chwnnir.
Nothing Is likely to romo of this
clash except a lot of correspondence.
It Is taken as a mntter of course that
this government will disavow tho
nits of Its sailors. If they wero tho
aggressors, and that Russia will do
likewise lr tho Russians Bre to blame.
Naval officers, while deprecating any
broneh of the peace, could not re
frain from chuckling nt tho Idea that
the Americans made the Russians
hunt cover. . Not In tho memory of
any mnn now living hns n party of
American sailors been whipped In
such an encounter as It Is supposed
took place In the nominally Chinese
but renlly Russian port. Many such
fights have taken plaeo In various
ports or tho world. Fifteen or 18
years ago a party of American and
French sailors got Into a light with
a party of British seamen. It lasted
for three days, and the British were
driven over tho mountains Into the
adjoining province In n two days'
tunning fight, during which three
iitttl.su sailors were killed. The
Americans were outnumbered and
were on the defensive until the
Frenchmen Joined them. Then thoy
assumed tho offensive. Serious as
that affair was It was easily settled
by the diplomats, as this one will
probably be.

PROFESSIONAL JURORS ABROAD.
Londoners Who Make a Living by De

A new form of fraud has recently
come to light In the precincts of the
law courts. "I have often noticed."
said a well-known barrister, "that
when the names of the special Jury
men are called at the beginning ot a
case one or two cf them fail to re

been repeated two or three times In a
tone of Tolco that ought to be audi

ently reluctant Jurymen arise from
a seat quite close to the Jury box and
take their places. I took the trouble
to Inquire into thn matter, for it struck
me that men who took so long tu
hear their own names nui3t bo quite
too deaf to attend to their duties as
Jurymen. J found that acting aa
special jurymen has almost become a
profession. Thoo men had simply
been waiting In court to earn tho
special Juryman's fee of a guinea. Aa
soon as they find that a special Jury
man is lata they stop luto- the box.

place. When the real Simon Pure ar
rives he sees that the court has

and penalties ho may have Incurred,
goen away and say3 as little about It
aa passible. I ilnd that thero are
quite a number of men taming a liv
ing iu thU way."

He says experience has taught the
